Germany vs Japan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes
Methane (CH4) emissions from Industrial Processes over time
- Germany
- Japan
How they compare
Japan currently reports 0.2676 Mt CO2e against 0.2334 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.0342 Mt CO2e.
That makes Japan's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Globally, Germany ranks 12th and Japan ranks 11th of 94 countries.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
